Bombay – A.R. Rahman (1995)
Album
A.R. Rahman's 1995 soundtrack is best known for the Bombay Theme, a flute and string piece that became famous far beyond India. Kannalane, sung by K.S. Chithra, layers her ornamented vocal over insistent percussion and choral backing. Choose it for Rahman at his most cinematic, mixing big orchestral moments with intimate song.
